Glow by Lady E

As you may know, Daiso Japan is one of my favorite stores..and for good reason. They offer affordable products but with excellent quality. We use their products for different purposes and you can find them anywhere in our house. Today, I will share with you some ideas and Daiso Japan products to help you organize your vanity. I love acrylic organizers. If you want a clean look to your vanity, go with acrylic organizers but make sure everything is acrylic. I think if you add other elements such as a wooden box mixed in with the acrylic pieces then it won't look as good as when everything is in uniform.   These plastic organizers are great. Khloe Kardashian uses them to store her accessories. These are a more affordable option.  Like she said, take a photo of your accessories, print them and stick on the organizer for easy access.  This one is great for lipsticks.  I totally forgot to buy this one. I went around the store to...

Meet Dra. Gina Banate, a licensed dermatologist and member of the Philippine Dermatological Society. I met her last Saturday at the Clinique Event and I tell you, I've learned a lot from her.  Today, I will share with you this skin care regimen that is tailored to fit a working lady's lifestyle, courtesy of the good (and might I say, beautiful! ~~ she's so photogenic!) doctor. First, my definition of a working lady - She commutes every day to work. She gets stuck in traffic with all the pollution around her. When she gets to the office, she is stuck in front of the computer for long hours and gets blasted with cold air the whole time she is there. I asked the doctor for the best skin care regimen she can recommend for this kind of working lady.  First off, you need to wash your face when you wake up in the morning. Be sure to use a mild soap with a pH level of not less than 5.5 as anything less than that is considered acidic. This protects the natural envir...

Last Saturday, cousin C and I went to Shangri-La Mall to attend the Doctor is In event at the Clinique counter. Check out these photos. Macarons from Bizu were served.  These are the limited edition sets. Get them while they are still around. The set on the left are 5 small bottles of perfumes. The one on the right are 7 lipsticks designed for each day of the week.  I really like this lippy set. There's cousin C waiting for the doctor.  You can get this bag free for every Php4,500 purchase.  Busy, busy, busy. Guest doctor for the event was Dr. Gina Banate, MD, DPDS who is a licensed dermatologist and member of the Philippine Dermatological Society. Guests got to have a personal consultation with the doctor. I asked her a few questions and I will be sharing the things that I've learned from her in my next post so watch out for that.

Join us at Rustan's Makati Clinique counter today for the RCC Makati Anniversary Selling Event. The event starts at 2 pm. Food and drinks will be served. You can also learn makeup techniques from the resident beauty experts as they conduct a makeup workshop. See you there!

Hi everyone! Sorry for being MIA for so long. I had a few health problems that needed to be addressed but I am okay now. For today's post, I will share with you some nuggets of beauty wisdom from Ms. Verna Marin, Chief MUA of L'Oreal Philippines. If you missed my post about the L'Oreal Workshop featuring Ms. Verna, you can read it here . 1. What's your favorite makeup and why? (blush, lipstick, etc.) For now it’s mascara, I’m a girl and I have mood swings!!! Or maybe because the Voluminous Million Lashes of L’Oreal that I’m trying out is super good it opens up the eyes with thick long lashes. It’s coming out soon! 2. Modern moms lead very busy lives that they tend to forget about themselves. What's the most important thing they can do before leaving the house to look more polished without exerting too much effort? Develop a 10 or even 5 minute makeup routine! It can be concealer mascara, blush and lipstick routine for everyday wear.  Concealer for t...

You can reserve a slot at the Clinique counter. See you there!

Welcome to the final day of this series! This is the last day so I want to share something special with you. This is the True Match Blur Creme from my favorite drugstore brand, L'Oreal. I don't know why I've been ignoring this brand. They have excellent products at very affordable prices. Their products are also comparable to higher end brands. I have recently only discovered it.  This product is used as a primer. I was looking for a primer to replace my Laura Mercier primer. I wanted to try Smashbox but I did a double take when I saw the price. Now that I am a mom, price is a huge concern for me when it comes to beauty products. I would pay for a good foundation or a palette but not that much for a primer. Fortunately, I wandered the aisles of Watsons at Beauty by SM and found this primer. It's only 400 pesos. Yeah, you read that right! The micro-blur technology 'blurs' the pores to create a smooth look. I apply this before my foundation. Yo...

Today's product is from K-Palette. This is the Real Lasting Eyebrow Pen. This was a personal recommendation by MUA to the stars, Jigs Mayuga. I had the privilege of attending his workshop and after the workshop, we talked about brows. The trend for eyebrows nowadays is towards the natural look. This pen is perfect for that. This is water resistant and long lasting. When you are ready to take it off, just rinse it out with soap and water. This is also perfect for beginners as the pen leaves a very light mark. You can fix any mistakes as you go. You can use this with an eyebrow pencil or powder. I use powders and it works just fine. You can also use it alone for a more natural look. Stay tuned for the last day in this series!

Happy Monday everyone! Do you have the Monday blues? I don't. I woke up feeling great this morning. Today is Day 28 of this series and it features this product from Purederm. This is a pore cleansing pad. I really like this product. I used it after I removed my makeup with makeup remover wipes.  I scrubbed my face and rinsed with water. I am too OC when it comes to makeup removal so I followed up with Physiogel after. I thought that I had already removed a lot of makeup but when I looked at this cleansing pad, it still had a lot of foundation on it. My face ended up feeling raw as I got carried away scrubbing. I didn't notice it at first because the pad is soft but it can hurt if you are not careful. Just gently scrub away. I will buy more of these cleansing pads and stock up as I rarely see them at Watsons.

Welcome to Day 27! Today's products are from OGX. These are the Tsubaki Blossom shampoo and conditioner. I tried these today and I am very happy with the results. My hair really feels softer as promised on the label. The scent is faint but wonderful.  My hair looks and feels straighter today too. I have naturally wavy hair so it's really very noticeable. I also just air dry my hair. I am truly enjoying these OGX products.
